For those who may not be aware, the United States Postal Service Bicycle Team is doing well over in France.
Led of course by Lance Armstrong in 6th Place overall, and George Hincapee in 7th Place and with two other Posties are in the top 22 places going into the break. The Team is in 5th Place and going strong.
Our other US Rider leading a team is Tyler Hamilton (a MA resident) who is in 11th Place overall. His team Phonak Hearing Systems is right behind the Posties in 6th.
Their main competition is German Rider Jan Ullrich who is 20th overall with the T-Mobil team sitting in 8th place. Ulrich won the last Tour de France before Armstrong went on his streak. And except for one year, Ulrich has been competitive. Hamilton did well last year and looks stronger this year. He helped Armstrong a few years ago.
The tour is heading into the mountains where Armstrong, Hamilton and Ulrich perform well above average and as well as their respective teams. This is going to be great 2nd week to the finish.
This is the last year the USPS is sponsoring the Team, I hope the team goes out on top. Again.
Go Posties!
